Keep them on just starter for at least 8-12 weeks. You can offer them treats like scrambled eggs.

I feed starter until I switch to an All Flock ration as soon as they can eat the pellets.

I start adding other extra treats after those first few months.

Chicks don't really need grit on a starter.

Getting them outside on the ground as soon as possible will help them build immunity, and give them a chance to exercise, and get some sun.
